I reddit is full of very intelligent self learners people, these tips prolly are second nature to you, but this is for the newbies who you were one day.
Recall what you learned at the end of the lecutre:
Recalling something learned is imprtant, because it strengthens those memories in your brain. Making it better absorbed. This is shown by science, the more revisions you do with bigger and bigger delays in between(so that it is harder each time), the more you will absorb it.
Take notes, this is important :
Always keep the notepad ready(or your fav. note app) by your hand if you are watching lectures. Pause whenver you want to take notes, don't worry about noting it all down, make it as brief as possible. This is for convenience, if you want to remember all of the material then write all them. This is very important, no matter how much you think you'll remember the course, there is bound to be something you forgotten from it. Keeping a note you can easily stroll through and remind yourself some very useful fact you might want.
Take regular breaks:
your listening time should be a maximum as as 25 minutes no more. Taking breaks, this will make understand the information better, make conclusions, structure it better in your mind etc. Read about it right before you take a short nap. This will also have the same effects but even greater. Taking breaks is also necessary for peace of mind.
Final everyday tip, try to reduce as much as noise as possible:
Both visual noise and audio. close the room and the window infront. etc. it's not about being strict as it is about being productive with your time, you can learn so much more with the same amount of time.
Note: These are all tips from an experienced procrastinator, don't worry about being too lazy for online courses. If YOU are interested in the material, you have reasons for studying it and you make a commitment, it is certainly possible.
